I believe the world heavyweight boxing bout: fury v wilder, is in Vegas tonight (Saturday). I wonder if there'll be some WOV posters going to watch? I wonder if there are some who were even comped tickets to watch?

Who's gonna win? Put your bet down if you're that way inclined. I wouldn't bet on it, but I'll say Fury's got the goods.

I bet the under 7.5 rounds at +115.

__________


Fury weighed in at 277 and Wilder at 238 - almost a 40 pound difference - that's a lot

and 277 is very heavy for a heavyweight but I guess he carries it well - unusual - but he is very tall at 6'9"

a boxer only has to weigh 200 to be a heavyweight -

Mike Tyson weighed about 218

I see. Well, if it's just the bout, you got more chance.

I've seen Fury's wins on YouTube. When I checked his physical numbers, I got a sense of his capabilities. He seems to win if he lasts the distance. And when he starts throwing heavy punches late in a bout, few can handle the power.

If by "freak" you mean "unusally gifted," then yes, he was a freak, as was Ali and to a degree Sonny Liston.

I once followed the sweet science very closely; pre-UFC they were pretty much the only game in town.

This millenium, however, the divisions are lack luster, the fighters no longer compelling.

I miss Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Tyson et al ...

Oh well, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Yes, I saw him fight at MGM in Las Vegas.

Skilled, quick, as was Mayweather.

Those two guys did catch my eye but the heavyweight division did not, post-Tyson.

Klitschko was an animal in his prime.

And of course Roy Jones Jr, though not a true heavy weight.

Marciano was incredible too. There may just be current incredible boxers in different weight divisions. I didn't watch yesterday night's heavyweight bout, but from the blog record, it appeared to be a very good fight.

For the record, yesterday night's heavyweight bout could be summarised thus:

Fury got knocked down once or twice in the early rounds. Wilder got knocked down twice in the later rounds. The second time, Wilder was knocked down for good.

Winner: Fury by KO, in 11 of 12 rounds.
